Topic: Dincrest needs music recommendations again

As most of you know, I love metal. However, I've noticed that as much as I enjoy harsh vocals, I'm starting to veer away from the more incoherent growlers who enunciate poorly. I'm into lyrics and several of these bands put great effort into crafting meaningful lyrics, yet when I'm listening in my car I can't really "sing" along since I can't quite make out what they're saying because they enunciate all mush-mouthed.

I first noticed this when listening to the new Rivers of Nihil song "The Silent Life" (great song) and was able to understand a lot of the words without consulting a lyric sheet.

So, anyway, who are some good harsh vocalists who enunciate well and can be understood?

I'm already familiar with Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth), Paul Kuhr (Novembers Doom), Devin Townsend, and sometimes Johan Hegg (Amon Amarth) and Burton C. Bell (Fear Factory) but I'm looking for more. I figured that since RPGFan is a hotbed for fellow metalheads, I would call upon thee.

Din, I know I have mentioned them to you in the past, but are you into Gojira? Joe enunciates well enough, and I can never get enough of progessive/groove metal.Unfortunately, I can't recommend their recent work, but their older stuff is great.
